It is such a positive and unique way of writing and building musical ideas, and the best part- you can learn from anywhere in the world, at your own pace.”

M.I.T.A. has also given me the confidence and tools to compose in any style by opening up my ear to the key elements within a piece of music making analysis very straightforward and enjoyable.”
